FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - FAQs
Q: Will martial arts training make my child more aggressive? And how
safe is this physical activity compared to other sports?
A: First, know that what you see on television (save perhaps the Karate Kid) is a far cry from what real martial arts are all about. The fact is, martial arts training is based on non-violence. more...
Q: I'm not in great shape since I gave birth to my second child, but I'd really like to start training. Will I feel out of place?
A: Unlike some gyms, you will never feel out of place at AFK, because everyone works at his/her own pace. The instructors will assess your skills, help you define goals, and then work with you to meet those goals.
Q: What is the instructor to student ratio?
A: Typically the ratio is 4 students to 1 blackbelt instructor. This allows for individual instruction and feedback.

What our parents of students say...
"Alexander Family Karate is the best karate school in town! We came to AFK 2.5 years ago after attending another local karate school for 6 months. We were amazed at the differences in schools. We knew that we were in the right place when at the end of class all of the students hugged the teachers good-bye. The low teacher to student ratio enables the students to get more individualized instruction while allowing the teachers to get to know the students and their needs. The teachers truly care about the students and their success. Along with karate the students are taught lessons on respect, character, self-esteem, social choices, work ethics, and life skills, to name a few. The students are taught that hard work is rewarded by earning stripes and belts. It is important to us that our son actually learns and masters the karate and self defense skills, rather than be rewarded for merely attending class.
The students are given the opportunity to practice their karate skills each month at Top Gun, a sparring tournament of AFK students. Another aspect of AFK that all of the students enjoy is "game time". Each class time they take a few minutes for "game time" where the students play games that help them improve their karate skills. I'm not sure who enjoys the teacher verses student games the most, the students or teachers!
Since our son has been attending AFK he has more self control, self confidence, and self esteem. We have also seen improvements in his coordination and gross motor skills. We are thankful to be part of a karate school that encourages students to strive for and achieve their goals, not only in karate but in every aspect of their lives. Alexander Family Karate really is a family!"
